[gentoo-user] Strange problem with audio CDs
I can't seem to get audio CDs to work with my drive. Data CDs work fine, I can mount the filesystem and read them. Data and Video DVDs seem to work fine as well. But when I try to listen to an audio CD, I get the attached errors in log.bz2. I've tried using things from KsCD to cdplay; everything gives the same errors. Googling seems to indicate that there might be a problem with udev somehow, but most of those that I find have the fix as update to the latest udev using apt/rpm/other binary distro package tool, which obviously won't work for Gentoo. Other solutions seem to be update to libATA, but I'm already using that. I've gone through and tried to check anything obvious in my kernel config, but I can't see anything that'd affect it like this. Also, if I reboot into Windows (this laptop is a work computer as well), it plays and rips the same CDs just fine. Hardware is an HP EliteBook nc6930p laptop. CD/DVD drive is /dev/sr0.

NOTE: if grub2 names your disks (ataN,N) instead of (hdN,N) that means you are using the ata* grub2 modules -- I haven't figured out how to make that configuration work yet. I believe the ata*.mods conflict with biosdisk.mod. The biosdisk.mod is accepting what the BIOS announces about the drives, but ata.mod is probing the hardware directly instead of listening to the BIOS. I think. Anyway after removing biosdkisk.mod, the ata.mod works very well (but doesn't find any USB sticks, which are not ATA devices. I think :) BTW, the 'search' command (in the grub2 shell) will do the following: search -l BOOT -s root search -l BOOT finds the disk label of my /boot partition, which happens to be BOOT in my case, and the -s root sets the shell variable 'root' to point at the /boot partition, which happens to be (hd1,5) in my case. In other words, that search command does at boot time what this menu item root (hd1,5) does, but I don't need to know the (hd1,5) in advance, I only need to know the disk label BOOT and grub2 will go find it in real time. Now I just need to look up what to put in grub.conf to make it automatic. You guys may be losing interest in grub2, but I'm having fun, so...

[gentoo-user] Enabling debugging symbols only for specific packages
Is there a way to enable debugging symbols only for some packages? I need to do that for about 15 packages. Currently, all I can do is edit make.conf all the time when emerging one of those and add -g to CFLAGS and splitdebug to FEATURES. But I *always* forget about it the first time, ending up building twice. Before anyone replies about enabling the debug USE flag on those package: No. This is not what this USE flag is there for.

[gentoo-user] xen-sources and igb (intel network) driver
Hi, I just upgraded my box to a phenom and an intel quad gbit card. The card is a 82575GB. It is recognized (I use xen-sources 2.6.34-r4) and also tried the latest driver available at intel (2.4.12). Ifconfig show the interfaces mac addresses etc. However I do not get a link. Neither on a switch nor on a laptop with gbit interface. I found googling that there seems to be an issue with xen and this card/ chip. Anybody knows a way out of it? Especially since the card should have some virtualization optimizations?

Yes, but very primitive. No speech, but you can give it a series of numbers representing tones and durations -- to make it sound like a video game arcade. If you really want to. But I don't.

I've gone through and tried to check anything obvious in my kernel config, but I can't see anything that'd affect it like this. Also, if I reboot into Windows (this laptop is a work computer as well), it plays and rips the same CDs just fine. Hardware is an HP EliteBook nc6930p laptop. CD/DVD drive is /dev/sr0. Controller is: 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation ICH9M/M-E SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30dc Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 46 I/O ports at 8118 [size=8] I/O ports at 813c [size=4] I/O ports at 8110 [size=8] I/O ports at 8138 [size=4] I/O ports at 8000 [size=32] Memory at d8426000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [80] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/16 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [70] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [a8] SATA HBA ? Capabilities: [b0] PCI Advanced Features Kernel driver in use: ahci Oddly, if I open Konqueror and type in audiocd:/, it lists the tracks, and has the FLAC, MP3, Ogg, etc folders. But it won't play or copy the files; it gives the error in error.gif. Any other info you need, please let me know. This is driving me nuts.

You're also running 64-bit ? - Jörg Well, mine is a bit different. I typically run FVWM from a SLIM logon, so there's no KDE or Gnome auto-anything running. I only used Konqueror as an example of another way of accessing the CDs that might have worked, but didn't. I can even stop XDM, log in from a console prompt with no X running, and try to play a CD with cdplay or dcd, and I'll get the same results. And with me, it doesn't start to work and then slow down; it never works. It can only read track listings, but not any of the music. And no, I'm on 32-bit stable Gentoo, with only unstable packages being ones that don't have stable ebuilds. Thanks for trying, though. :-) Anyone else have any ideas? Jake Moe
